Augmented Bone Grafts are gaining prominence in the bone graft market. The increasing incidence of musculoskeletal conditions and technological advancements in medical devices leading to shift from autograft to allograft procedures are some factors responsible for the growth of the global augmented bone grafts market.

Augment Bone Graft is a combination drug/device product used for repairing the bone and reviving its regenerative properties. It is used as an alternative to autograft in arthrodesis of the ankle or hindfoot indicating the need for supplemental graft material. The use of augment bone graft eliminates the need for a second surgery to harvest autologous bone, thereby avoiding donor site morbidity. According to the National Health Interview Survey, in 2012, around 126 million adults were affected by this disease in the U.S. According to the Labor Force Survey (LFS), about 553,000 cases were registered for all work-related musculoskeletal disorder out of the total of 1,243,000 cases.

Allografts and bovine-derived bone graft products dominate the augmented bone graft market. These materials have variations in particle size which is their main drawback. The recent technological trend is to replace these natural materials with alloplastic bone grafts such as ceramics and polymers as they can be manufactured to the precise size and characteristics.

According to the British Editorial Society of Bone & Joint Surgery, bone is the second most common transplanted tissue after blood with an estimated 2.2 million grafting procedures worldwide annually as recorded in 2015. This development has been fuelled by the increasing cases of fractures and accidents around the world. There has been increasing acceptance of bone grafting procedures which drives the market for augmented bone graft products. Many healthcare professionals have started using these bone grafts, especially in tertiary care centers and specialty hospitals which may promote and increase the demand for augmented bone graft. These bone graft works in a unique way to stimulate three key processes of early bone healing.

Various other factors such as, increasing advancement in technology, and rising adoption rate of new technology continuously contribute to the growth of this market. Despite these developments, high cost of surgeries and ethical issues related with bone grafting procedures may hamper the growth of the market. For instance, a study conducted by BMC Medical Ethics states that in a sample of 100 patients, about 20% of the patients refuse to accept allografts for their grafting surgery.

Additionally, stringent regulations obstruct the growth of bone grafts market and inadequate reimbursement policies for bone grafting also hampers the growth of global bone grafts market. Rapid product launches and increasing mergers and acquisitions between bone graft systems manufacturing companies are some of the major trends in the global bone grafts market.
